- After spending a lifetime in the music business, this is my first music video... It's a song I wrote from my heart for my first born son, Wyatt. I wanted him to grow up with the concept of heroes and the Singing Cowboys were and are the best place to find those heroes.

REX ALLEN, SR ~ REX ALLEN, JR OUTSTANDING WESTERN SOULS.
+LOVE JESUS, AIN'T NOBODY CAN WHIP THAT TALENT. OUR BELOVED WESTERN HEROES: MEET THEE IN THE HEAVENLIES INDEED.!. HOPE TO RIDE TRIGGER + ALL THEM HOLLYWOOD HORSES.
Now that's a REAL C & W SONG!! Thank you.
I met Rex Allen Jr. at a Marty Robbins Tribute, in Wilcox Az. that my wife, daughter, sons and I have entertained,
...he actually watched my youngest son during my slot. He was very kind, funny and his intermission show was one of the best shows I've ever seen.
This is what a country song is supposed to sound like. Way better than what they are playing today. I Love It!
My dad was a cowboy and played guitar and sang. My mom grew up in Safford, AZ. My grandmother went to school at Sunset, where her dad had a ranch. She went to school with Rex Sr. My mom saw him in a parade in Safford as a teenager and got an autographed photo of Rex Sr., which I now have since she passed. Nothing like the good old cowboy songs I dearly love.
I have loved Rex Allen Jr my entire life
Best memories of the Heroes of "the day". Hoppy, Gene, Roy, Lash LaRue and Rex, Sr. , etc. The best times to grow up. The kids of today missed so much.
Love This Rex Looking forward to seeing again soon.Your Western Belle, Barb
Thank you Sir for such a wonderful rendition of a great song.
The name Rex Allen has been spoken over the years. I still love the voice, the songs and if I can see a show that was narrated I feel blessed! Don't let this be your last video. I am touched by the memories! Thank you so much for making and sharing this beautiful video! God bless!

It was exactly the same in England; Gene Autry, Tex Ritter, Hopalong Cassidy, Rex Allen, Lash Larue and Roy Rogers were our heroes in the 50's. Not forgetting George 'Gabby' Hayes of course! We also dressed as cowboys and had cap guns and bought comic books about Kit Carson, Buck Jones and Davy Crockett. Most English kids loved Americans, by the way.
Thanks for the memories Rex. Sad that we have no heros for the kids to copy any more. My kids watched them with me on tv all the singing cowboys including your dad. No better days ever
Way to go Rex. Good video
Boy does that ever bring back the memories of when I was a kid 74 years ago .Life was hard but good.😀
Thank you Rex. Our younger generation is in desperate need of heroes to have as examples to live by.
I met your Dad when I was just a boy in Spokane, WA. (I'm your age.) He was at a small rodeo type event and he rode around on horseback to a fence where all the kids were waiting and I was able to shake his hand. Memories. What a beautiful song you've written. Thank You.
Rex, Thank you SIR. This is a an amazing song and sentiment.... SO true.
I like the music of Rex Jr! Never knew of him until just a few years ago and love classic country music!
Just don’t get no better. Lump in the throat, puffed up heart, and watery eyes when hearing that God given voice asking us to search for the hero’s we had.
Great Job Rex! Straight from the Heart!
Thanks for the memories I still remember your dad and Gene and Roy and all of the other heroes that I grew up with. Thank you for all of your years singing I have always enjoy listening to you.
Thank you for this video. I grew up during the 1970's, but my dad would always find the old singing cowboy movies on TV and I would watch them with him. We would watch Gene Autry and Roy Rogers and those were the best memories of my life. I still have an autographed picture of Roy Rogers on Trigger that my dad got when he was a teenager in the 1930's. My dad was a working cowboy that trained cutting horses so cowboys, singing or not, have and always will be my heroes.
Thanks for the western songs. We listen everyday. We love the videos of you and your dad.
One of my all time favorite RAJ songs!
Rex, I first heard his song about 10 years ago and its become one of my all time favorites. I'm 58 and grew up with"real" country and western music...not the garbage we hear on the airwaves now. This is a beautifully written song; I can relate to the Saturdays and coupons...and heros. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I've share with my son too.
Wow brings back beautiful memories. Great song and done well.
Mr. Allen, Your father was my ideal western music singer. His music was the kind of western music that I favored above all others. I am so grateful that you also became a western music artist. This song of yours: "Where Are The Heroes" speaks worlds to me about heroes for generations who grew up in earlier times. Thank you for such a beautiful song.
Well done Rex! Love the sentiment!
Rex you sound as good as you did in the 80's if not better, glad I found your channel
That's a Good One Rex kind of brings a tear
Great song, and a great performance Mr Allen, your Dad was one of the best of those heroes, along with Hoppy, Gene & Roy etc. and how the World could use them now! I loved them all and still do via DVD. Heavens gain is our loss!
I absolutely love it Rex. I sat in my chair and cried because your words are so true!
Great song, I enjoyed every second of it.
Just listened to it. It's exactly right, and perhaps one of the major obstacles for today's kids. Who do they have as a hero? How do they find the person to look up to? Well done Rex
RIDE EASY PARD.....Vic
I don't comment on music videos very often. I was looking for another Rex Allen song when I found this.... I've decided that two songs tell my entire story. 10 Years Old And Barefoot (find it) and this one. This is just.... awesome. Thank you.
Beautiful music. Thanks for bringing back that homegrown sound
Very nice, Rex! Looks like you are doing well. All the best!
Just watched your live version of lonely street from the Statler Brothers show. You did such a great version of that song and hat a big hit with it. Love this video, your voice hasn't changed a bit. You've still got it!!! Can't say that for every artist. Wishing you continued success.
My favorite Rex Allen Jr song!
My heroes have always been cowboys....Especially your dad...His narrations on the Disney movies and his Purina commercials are priceless!!

Thank you all!!
Rex, that's great. I know you're not here to invite comparison with Senior -- so I'll just say, "No, that's REALLY great" and to get by with that.
SURE IS GOOD TO FIND THIS CHANNEL AND THE VOICE OF THE HERO I RECALL AS A YOUNG MAN. GOOD JOB. REX ALLEN.Jr.
Rex Allen,this is a beautiful song,love it.Thanks for posting it.
I always thought Rex Allen was as good as any of the other movie cowboys. And Junior sounds just as good. I wish more songs like this were popular today.
Great song and equally great video.
I was at a rodeo in Murray UT when I was 12 and stood at the fence, with my cowgirl skirt, cowboy shirt and boots. Rex Jr stopped, asked "where's your hat?" I told him I didn't have one so he gave me his. Autographed it after the show
Just beautiful! Have always like this song, but using it with the videos in the background is perfect! Thank you Rex!!
Absolutely Love this song, a Beautiful Tribute to Cowboys and Cowgirls that I grew up watching and listening to, thank you Rex.
Thank you, great song and music. Part of the reason I became a hand. Been cowboying for some 50 years now. The great part is I ending my last years on one of the great ole Texas ranches as a "Whatever". Again thank you and hope to see you and Johnny Western this fall.
Way to go Rex, we'll not forget them.......
Terrific song ! Rex's song Goodbye, made me a fan the first time I heard it on the radio !
Rex Jr. has a wonderful voice and presence. Really great!!
I like everything you've written and this one is exceptional. Good job. Love it.
Rex You are a great Country Singer, One of the best you and all the other underrated artist of Country my person favourites are You Tommy Overstreet Ed Bruce & Then of course George Jones & Merle Haggard btw I'm only 19 I'm so glad i like real music.
I'm so glad I found your UA-cam channel Mr. Allen. You have been an amazing gift for those of us that love Western music. Keep the videos coming!
You have an amazing golden voice. I've listened to and loved this song for years. Great job on the music video, love it.
Great production. Thank you.
Love this. My first husband was a cowboy and sang and played this wonderful music too.
Beautiful and Heartfelt. I only wish we could see some African American Cowboys. We had Kung Fu and Cisco Kid but no African American Cowboy Heros.
Great song. You sound so much like your Dad.
Remember his dad narrating all those Disney movies. He had a great voice.
Thank you, Rex. Heartfelt for sure. Just made my Friday better.
I hope this gets lots of air play. Rex your awesome.
Song is very true. I grew up with roy Rodgers john wayne and all those other great guys. We don't have anything like that now. Saw you at the clayton county fair a number of years ago. Great show a class act guy. Still have my autographed album. You sound as good now as you did then. Awesome
Gee just great
I heard Rex Jr. sing this song the first time at a Western film convention in Williamsburg, I think. He was just filling time before the next attraction came on. Sitting and strumming his guitar, he talked about his father's health. Apparently Rex Sr. had heart problems because of the fried foods he had eaten all his life. This wasnt too long before he got run over by his caretaker. Rex Jr. was telling about how many people would come up to him and ask why they didnt bring the old westerns back, as if Rex Jr. could do anything himself. Then he sang this song...I could picture my mind the kids coming to the theater on their bicycles...standing in line waiting for the movie...All of a sudden I felt tears coming to my eyes,,,The song had a real effect on me. I was living in Concord, New Hampshire at the time and we had cowboy movies every Saturday...Maybe not as many as the kids did down South, but they were popular.
I have enjoyed the purity of your voice for many years. You sound as good now as ever. But, more importantly, you are a "class act" who many could look up to to find a hero. THANKS
The music industry has sure changed! Instead of waiting for the new vinyl album to come out in our favorite music store , we now have youtube and the latest video.....
Glad to hear you are alive and well!! Keep the videos coming!
A lot of heartfelt compassion in this wonderful video!! Thank you for posting!
You have the most amazing voice! I love your music.
Rex is the Best! U can feel his Songs With meaning.
dmn his voice is so clear and solid Go get um Rex
Just found out that you are still singing and touring Mr Allen!!! You sound fabulous!!! I am fortunate to still be able to play your original album Cat's in the Cradle from 1981!! Hope you can come to the Tampa Bay Area soon!!
Beautiful voices, sound great together. Rex has a very rich, deep voice and Sara has a really pretty lilt, they sound really good together.
Beautiful song, Rex. It's sad that there's a shortage of good guys for our kids and grandkids to admire - heroes who reinforce what parents teach their kids. So many celebrities today irresponsibly lead kids by their example to do the wrong things. I appreciate the sentiment in this song. Thanks for writing and producing it. Hope to see in November.
I love your fathers songs an now yours.Your following his footsteps :)
Great voice!
Beautiful!
Nice song...I play along on piano to this one all the time. I want our country back...this communist take over needs to end...yesterday!!
Your father was one of my heroes. I'm sure he was one of yours and you are your children' hero.
you are singing my youth, thanks
HAVE NOT SEEN OR HEARD REX ALLEN IN AGES !!!!!!! WISH I DID KNOW !!!!!!!
Rex, when I was a tiny tot you came to town to sing to our school. You must have been 20 years old, we still enjoy your music. I know you are gone now but thats the way it is.
Met you at Mining Camp with the OK Chorale, Great Job on the song Rex! Sure brings back memories of Saturday Mornings!!! Thanks from the heart!
Awesome!!!! I have followed you almost your whole career. I have a bunch of your original records on vinyl. Class act and gorgeous voice!!!
Beautiful song!
Rex, I have been a fan since I first heard you on the radio! Now I'm a glad subscriber!! Keep up the good work!
Wow! Powerful and oh so true.
"The Rosemary Clooney Show with guest star Rex Allen (Sr.)" brought me here and I'm glad she did! Now I'm acquainted with the Allen family.
Being two years younger than you, I had the same heroes. Sadly our nation has been perverted and distorted. Such a great song.
Great video Rex!!
I've been a fan of your music for many years! I believe I have all of your albums in my collection. Also some very interesting Ralph Emery radio shows on vinyl with good stories and music. Good to see you have produced a music video. Love it!! Best wishes from Tore in Norway!!
the country that this once was is gone
Very Nice Rex. I played in Germany when you came over there and we did some of your tunes too :)
Thanks partner! - Herb (Texas)
I LOVE it. Great work and your voice is better than ever ! Forwarded the link to my Dad, probably will make him cry. :-)
Nice to hear you do this again.
Great song Mr.Allen!!
Phill
Looking forward to seeing you at the Celebration this year! Bonnie Dunn
Rex Allen Jr. You might be interested to know that I've been compiling Arizona videos on UA-cam to create a playlist that functions as a video tour of the state. One of beauty and diversity, it is also accompanied by 3 videos containing your song, " I Love You, Arizona" interspersed throughout the hundreds of videos that make up the playlist. The playlist shows Arizona's natural beauty, it's not about cities or towns, although some are shown, like Willcox. It might be pleasing. It also includes Arizona's Mustangs. Thank you for your Arizona song.
I grew up in England and Ireland - it may have been a never, never land - but the cowboy's moral code and indeed failings appealed to me - not every character John Wayne, Randolf Scott, or Jimmy Stewart played where all good - but they had a sense of right and wrong and that appealed to me - also liked the baddies -Lee Marvin-Lee Van Cleef, Deforest Kelly, Jack Palance -
so true.
All my heroes were Cowboys.
